Well, at least it didn’t come to blows.
During a heated exchange on the Hill on Wednesday Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) took turns blasting each other on gun violence statistics.
“The heated back-and-forth…started when the New York congressman yelled at his GOP colleagues as they left the chamber for not backing stricter gun control measures in the aftermath of Monday’s shooting, which left three adults and three children dead.,” The New York Post reports.
“They’re cowards! They’re all cowards!” Bowman, a former Bronx middle school principal, shouted near reporters, referring to the Republican members walking through the hallway.
“They won’t do anything to save the lives of our children at all. Cowards!” Bowman continued. “Pressure them. Force them to respond to the question, ‘Why the hell don’t you do anything to save America’s children?’ And let them explain that all the way up to Election Day in 2024.”
“They’re freaking cowards. They’re gutless,” Bowman screamed.
“You know, there’s never been a school shooting in a school that allows teachers to carry,” Massie said.
“You’re just screaming at me,” Massie said, as he went over to tell reporters, “We have guns here to protect us, and he doesn’t believe that kids should have somebody to protect them.”
